<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 1534924, member: 3011&quot;]The problem I have with the zero interest rate policy isn&#039;t that it is impossible to earn some sort of return; it is that it is now necessary to expose yourself to much more risk than bank accounts, CDs and short term bonds possess.&nbsp; This might work for awhile, but there will be inevitable stumbles along the way that will really hurt many people.&nbsp; Also the ZIRP has an unintended consequence of lowering the return on capital for all investment classes since most everything keys off of the risk free rate of return.&nbsp; So capital in the US is earning a lower return than ever before, and therefore is more likely to flee, or disappear as investors eat their seed corn.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
